Anyways, If youve been running washer fluid and not water, i doubt theyre frozen. In the winter here I always run the orange rain-x deicer fluid to help with the frost/ice.
If by some chance it is froze, pull it into a warm area (heated garage) for a few hours...then test it.
Easy way to check between a bad pump or possible leak/freeze/what ever it may be is to hold the washer button and listen for the pump working, you should hear it. The noise will come from the driver's side fender! If the front works, and the rear doesnt, and you dont hear the rear pump....chances are its shot. Seems to happen a lot on the 97-01's.
Another thing that makes this getting brought back up is I FINALLY fixed this like 2 weeks ago....cost about 20$ and 15 minutes......lol

Ok heres the deal with the freezing in Canada. Bug wash is sold in several different varieties for different locations and times of year. Here in FL there isnt any available with a defroster/ice mix in it because we dont need it but the auto places sell winter mixes designed to go down to 0 degrees. In the summer the only thing that is sold is the non freeze resistant stuff. Because it doesnt freeze often down here I stock up on bug wash in the summer. Basically in Canada what is sold will probably be rated for REALLY cold temps. Check the bottle.

light a fire under it ;P Just kidding. Bribe a buddy with some beer to park it in his garage overnight. Otherwise some alcohol in the tank might speed up the thaw.

Mine is a '93 and the pumps are mounted to the bottom of the res tank and since I was there I replaced both pumps for under $25 in stock at local parts store. Did a hose inspection and no leaks. Front worked but still nothing in rear. Could still hear motor working and proceeded to tear off rear interior panel. Hose is a little tricky to see and connects to a nipple then to the exterior wiper via an external hose. Where the hose connected to the inside there was a one way plastic valve to hold the in line pressure and mine was clogged here. Dealer item only of course but just a couple of bucks. Make sure to have some extra plastic door trees as I always seem to break a couple. You can run without the valve but not I wouldn't as you will have to hold the motor on longer since the fluid won't stay in the line without the valve and may burn out the motor. Hope this helps!
